Ok I am stupid....I was putting together a friends AMD system with the stock HSF on his barton.....no OCing will be done....and i notice that there is a small "dent" in the HS about the size of the head of a tootpick....is this a HUGE problem?....if so what do you suggest?


Thank You

a little pin hole dent.... i wouldnt wory about it, be sure to use some thermal compound, it should fill in the gap, but if not, its only a little hole, its not optimal but it will work (IMO)
